This is my biggest struggle.. I come home from work around 3:15 and from that time until supper I just dont know what to eat and it bothers me so much.. I eat salads for lunch, fruits, maybe greek yogurt for breakfast with big cup of coffee. what could be filling and can hold me off till dinner time? What do u eat in between these meals?

A mini meal: so crackers or carrots with chummus, avocado and whole grain tortilla chips, peanut butter on rice cake, a nugo bar, a bit of leftover dinner from the night before, a splurge sometimes on a small brown rice sushi, banana, string cheese,

Afternoon tea.

Cup of tea
Cucumber sandwiches (with the crusts cut off)
Scones with cream and jam

Maybe not so practical for a modern lifestyle, but afternoon tea was invented for this purpose.

If you're trying to lose weight then protein is a good idea:
Hard boiled egg or 2
Celery with peanut butter
Nuts but not too many
Vegetables with chummus
String cheese
Even a little turkey or chicken if
you don't mind being fleishig
Luna bar
Veggie burger
1/2 Grapefruit
Cottage cheese

Maybe eat a bigger lunch. Your meals don't sound filling. Are you staying off of carbs? Carbs without sauces or dressings may be ok. Check the calories.

Im not a big breakfast/lunch eater.. I get most hungry around 3-5 then I start eating snacks around the house whatever is nearby and I also binge on snacks/ candy at night after supper.. I wish I could eat a more filling breakfast or lunch.. but I have a big coffee and it keeps me pretty full..

It's consciously part of my daily food plan.

I'd try to move my meals closer together or eat a bigger lunch. Snacking always starts out with good intentions (I.e. an apple) but ends badly for me (crackers, chips, cookies). So I try to eat meals that are filling and not too far apart and drink lots of water between.

Where can I find 100 calorie snack bags?

Most of the pretzel snack bags at the store are 100-110 calories with no fat.
These are my faves (I find most fulfilling)

But there's also Herr's, and many heimish brands too. I've had from Haddar. And I think Bloom's too IIRC.

Of course you're hungry if all you've eaten is a yogurt and salad until then. I personally would recommend having a couple of slices of wholewheat bread. It will fill you up and then you won't be tempted for snacks and unhealthy food. Or if that's a no no, a piece of salmon or other protein. Almonds could also be a good option. It has to be something that will fill you up though, another coffee or latte just won't cut it, your body is telling you that it's hungry!

Protein shake. It changed my life. It's filling and yummy. Buy some protein powder and a blender bottle and have that between meals

When it works out (work and hunger wise) I do that too. If I’m only eating lunch at 130/2, I’m not so hungry till 6/7 anyway
